Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Grunt-env is a Grunt plugin designed to streamline the management of environment variables within your Grunt build process. It allows you to define and apply different environment configurations for various tasks, ensuring consistent behavior across development, testing, and production environments. Comparing versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1, a key difference lies in the declared dependencies. While both versions rely on ini for configuration parsing and lodash for utility functions, version 1.0.0 incorrectly lists grunt-related dependencies (grunt, grunt-cli, and grunt-contrib-clean) under dependencies when in fact they should be declared in devDependencies. Version 1.0.1 addresses this packaging error, correctly placing these grunt packages amongst the devDependencies.

For developers, this seemingly small change is important. By fixing the dependency metadata, version 1.0.1 offers a cleaner and more accurate representation of the package's actual runtime requirements. Users installing grunt-env 1.0.1 will no longer inadvertently pull in development-time Grunt dependencies into their production or runtime environments reducing the chance of unexpected behavior from transient dependencies. This update contributes to better project maintainability by adhering to standard dependency management practices.
